Can a twin Cummins 6 BTA get on a plane?
Can a twin Cummins 6 BTA get on a plane? My twin Cummins 6 BTA... My twin Cummins 6 BTA 5.9 boat with 430 hours cannot get on plane easily. Bottom and props are clean, excess weight removed. Turbos don't engage soon enough or fully enough, so boat "plows" through the water blowing black smoke, for 2 minutes or so, until it finally planes. How big is a Cummins 6bta 5.9 boat? Whats the fuel consumption like on them (bear in mind we were looking originally at a 380hp Iveco single engine boat that cruised about about 25-30lph) I think...
